The Big Surprise!

This past weekend was my birthday. Brent gave me the biggest surprise of my life!! He arranged for my mom to fly in from Utah to visit us and finally meet our 5 month old Ella! Tears were shed, smiles shared and lasting memories made. Thank you Brent, for the best Birthday ever! I've never been so shocked in my life as the moment I saw my mom there at the airport! Brent had me completely clueless as we drove to the airport, telling me we were driving kind of out of town to eat out. When we turned into the airport, I looked at him questioningly and he commented, "haven't you ever heard of eating at the airport?" I responded, "yah...I've just never done it." And the rest is history! What an amazing husband I have!!!
We took Grandma to visit a nearby historical park, Mission San Luis.

Grandma gave Ella a cradle-cap cure. Ella's head looks much better!! :-D
Grandma played with Ella for countless hours!
Dad fed Ella carrots for the first time yesterday. She didn't really like them much.
